A short walk away from Liverpool Street in the City of London there is a mysterious little street called Scrutton Street. If you listen hard enough in the early hours you will hear the lamentations of the ghost of Big Herb. He wanders up and down the street looking for his space hopper.

Sometimes - if you're very lucky or unlucky - you will actually be able to catch a glimpse of Big Herb. But do not approach him. Until he finds his beloved space hopper he does not want to be disturbed. He may even turn violent, so leave him alone. You have been warned.
